Chicago – TheMathCompany, an Illinois-headquartered global leader in data analytics and engineering, has announced its partnership with Women in Data (WiD), a global community dedicated to increasing diversity and representation in data-driven careers. The collaboration was unveiled during a roundtable jointly organized by Women in Data and the AI Xecutive Council (AIXC), an initiative by TheMathCompany.
The roundtable, titled ‘Conversations For Change’, provided a meaningful platform to celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day. The session brought together global leaders and experts to discuss strategies for building diverse, inclusive, and resilient technology careers for women in data and analytics.
Sadie St. Lawrence, Founder & CEO, Women in Data and AIXC Member, said, “I am thrilled about the partnership between MathCo and Women in Data (WiD). As the founder of WiD, I am eager to see the impact our combined efforts will have on increasing diversity and representation in the data industry. I look forward to the endless opportunities for growth and collaboration that this partnership brings, particularly in our APAC region.”
Marie-Estelle Carrasco, Global Head of Data & Analytics, Danone and AIXC Member, said, “Inclusivity is key to innovation and the condition for better diversity. It shows the way out of the box. It ensures we develop for the sake of humans, not of platforms first. It grants a positive impact on people while aiming for business success. Women in Data can count on us, members of AIXC, to support and demonstrate the benefits of building inclusive teams and thinking in Data and Analytics, including gender diversity.”
Praveena Ravanavarapu, Senior Director, Data Engineering & Analytics, Dollar General and AIXC Member, said, “I am beyond excited about the partnership between MathCo and Women in Data (WiD). With only 20.4% of data scientists as women, this partnership will take that stat to a different level. Congratulations and cheers to many future achievements that this collaboration will bring home.”
Sayandeb Banerjee, Co-Founder & CEO, TheMathCompany and AIXC Member, said, “At TheMathCompany, we are passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive work culture. I am excited about the partnership with Women in Data that has the potential to strengthen our continued efforts in this direction. With this collaboration, we hope to drive real change and encourage more women to join the fast-growing data industry.”
This partnership reinforces TheMathCompany’s commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion across the data and analytics ecosystem. Together, TheMathCompany and Women in Data aim to expand opportunities for women through mentorship programs, targeted research, and career development initiatives across all levels and functions within the organization.
